Getting mocked by a senior on the drumline because you couldn't accomplish a high-five and walking at the same time...(Five failed attempts right after our award, I was just like 'Forget this...')

Crashing the cymbals after the band tunes, and say 'What? I was tuning 'em.'

Ok I've got a few pretty good ones
Play the timpani olympics: bounce a broken mallet off the timpani and compete with other percussionists to see who can get the mallet farthest..
A percussionist should also be able to put a skittle on his/her drum hit the drum and catch into their mouth, snare is recommended but this feat is also possible with tenors and/or basses.
A percussionist should also be able to make a cymbal roll using a crash cymbal and a knee.
Last when "fixing" the vibraphone, one should drop on floor the keys to her the note it makes.
Ach thigh bruises I hated those.

A percussionist must:
-Be hit with UFS's at least three times a week. (<--Unidentified Flying Sticks)
-Crab march while making crab motions with their hands.
-Have a large ego, with reason. ^.~
-Jump at anything related to percussion.
What type of harnesses to you have? Ours had a padded piece that formed to our pelvic bone at the bottom. Of course, we did just get $60,000 of new equipment and instruments.

NotThatGirl93 Phantom of the Forum During band, the drumline got bored (which is enveitable) and started chucking their sticks at the ground to make them stick. The bass mallets were the most hilarious, they stuck head-up. XD LOL!!! That's funny. We usually play some dumb game, or talk about movies when we're bored Our Snares, Took Chairs, broke then Locks off lockers, video tapped it and got caught because they put it n youtube. They got suspended for a week. lol

Get caught by your director staring into the reflections on the side of the timpani.
I do believe the senior that remarked where the others were said..."Well, they're staring at their reflections on the timpani..."
I wish I had a camera for our director's expression right then. XDD

xXsoDaPopand_riTaLinXx bounce sticks/mallets off your drum and see if you can catch them!
xD
Me and the fourth bass drummer got it down to where we would hit the drum and have the mallet bounce off and the opposite person would catch it! hehe It was fun =]
Or have a quad/tenor play put the drums on over their head like one of ours did xP
And the bruise thing is SO true!
I have so many bruises on my thighs from my bass harness....
They're really gross! D: we do that...ha ha..all of it, my boyfriend plays the tenors and he always puts it over my head and plays. and one time when bouncing the sticks of of the drums, we got them to bounce down the whole bass line! and we throw our sticks at the ground too, be we get in trouble because of the holes...=[

Another thing we did was line the bass drums up like a tenor and played tenor songs on them,
everyone was amazed and crouded around to watch.

Mainly a pit thing, but rolling the concert bass down a hill.
Last year in our drumline everyone drank jolt, and the timp player had two band lockers full of it. The director made him throw them out though (about 50-80 can I believe.).

Nicole_Dusk Oh my holy cow, our pit broke a concert bass doing that once, it was horrid. For us its like initiation. We just say you aren't truly a pit member unless you've rolled a bass drum down a hill. But if you're just doing it at random you get yelled at. So we roll it down this big hill at our practice ditch. Its really steep 0.0

Something EVERY percussionist must do at least once (or else they aren't a real percussionist) is break a mallet/stick AT LEAST once.
